Tumors that lie along, or compress, the optic path may cause visual hallucinations. In one case series, 13 of 59 patients with temporal lobe tumors experienced visual hallucinations. These hallucinations are described as complex and may involve vivid scenes (including people carrying out mundane tasks).
They can also be a side effect of some medications and may occur with hearing loss, sleep deprivation, or severe fatigue. The specific cause of hallucinations, including hearing voices, is not known. Hearing voices can be a symptom of serious, and even life-threatening, conditions.
